The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde  -  Peter Ackroyd

KORTE INHOUD

Oscar Wilde led a uniquely flamboyant and colourful life, but tragically spent his last years in isolation and poverty in Paris. In the brilliantly constructed last testament which blends invention with true history, Peter Ackroyd embodies Wilde as he muses on his childhood, his glorious fame as a playwrite and his private delight and degradation as a homosexual.
Tracing the rise and fall of one of literature's most alluring figures, 'The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde' is redolent with Wilde's wit, inteligence and tragedy, and captures the life, times and personality in its portrayal of this extraordinary man.
